2013 Lineup

[PDAD]

Dammit, Biffy and NIN clash? NIN win for me, but I was looking forward to Biffy...

[Com Truise]

If NIN and Biffy clash I'll just slit my wrists and save myself the torture of choosing between them

[Com Truise]

Surely they have similar fan bases and wouldn't put them against eachother?? Surely

[PDAD]

I really hope they sub instead...desperately

[PDAD]

Rage

SOAD

Eminem

Dizzee

Biffy

NIN

would be ideal.

[PDAD]

That would amazing. It would suck if they did clash, I'm sure there are lots of Biffy fans who would want to see NIN and vice versa, I imagine it would be kinda like Rage and SOAD clashing

[Com Truise]

Yeah i'd have thought so. A Biffy/NIN clash would make no sense at all.

[PDAD]

And despite it being R&L, surely they're far too big to headline NME? They would have to at least play third on main, because I can see them headlining Download next year if they play R&L this year, you don't put a probable Download headliner on NME

[Com Truise]

They subbed last time they played R+L but apparently it was a very low turnout to see them, and i cant see them filling out the tent at R+L. In regard to the download headline possibility, Faith No More headlined download in the same year they headlined the NME stage. So i dont think it's out of the question. My main query is the Biffy clash.

[PDAD]

Ah balls, I'm desperately trying to debunk the NME headline theory so that I'm not depressed by the thought of them clashing

I'd rather NIN weren't announced at all rather than them clash with Biffy!

[Com Truise]

It makes no sense to have them clash. I'm holding on to that, it's all i have

[Muppetmark]

"Redding pfestival? August? Most defiantly! @DizzeeRascal@Eminem are biiiig tingssss! #messssy"

I think reading that tweet actually lowered my IQ?

It'd be cool to see Dizzee there anyway

How would this massive derp know dizzee was playing though?

[dentalplan]

well dizzee retweeted it so i think its legit

I doubt NIN and Biffy have that huge a crossover in fanbase. Also, while fans complain about clashes, organisers want to split the crowd so there's not a massive crush anywhere. NIN on the mainstage would get a larger crowd than on the NME stage, as they'd have more people wandering over to 'check them out'.

FNM did headline the NME tent the same year as DL mainstage, and get a small crowd, however's it's worth remembering that FNM weren't announced until after DL had happened, and R+L had sold out, so their own fans wouldn't really have got much opportunity to buy a ticket to the festival based on that.

Regardless, I'm still refusing to believe in NIN being anywhere in the UK until it's announced.

[kaosmark2]

I was surprised that there'd be people torn between the two as well. In fact, I'm sort of surprised NIN appear to be so popular on here to be honest.

[Gingo]

Also that bloke said it's Eminem's last performance in the UK, can anyone confirm?

[Andre91]

There was an article a few days ago where FOB claimed to be "Surprised anyone cared" about the reunion. They were being quite self depreciating, and whether that was a publicity stunt or what I don't know, but it points towards a 3rd/ 4th slot maximum. Assuming of course that their position was booked at the same time they were, which I would think is the case.

[the wonderwhy]

The kid that retweeted that Dizzee thing admitted he knew jack shit (whilst making himself look like a douchebag).

[Yellow_Fellow]

The kid that reteeeted it was Dizzee Rascal.

[kev1664]

On the subject of faith no more.

Tedious link to Tomahawk. They are playing dates. Any chance of R&L and where would they play, near top if NME? Headline FR?

[dancelittleliar]

FOB have been self-depreciating for as long as I've been a hardcore fan, it seems part of their schtick. during their live DVD Pete 'honestly can't play to save his own life' Wentz makes several comments that put himself and the band down. Whether that was the 'trend' at the time, I'm not sure, and I don't really care to remember.

[Gucci Piggy]

On the subject of NIN, I'm gonna cling to the fact Phoenix have to play the Sunday at Reading, and I see them headlining/subbing the NME tent, and I can't see them subbing to NIN.

Also the guy who originally posted on here that they're playing has said he believes they're subbing.

On a different topic, I saw The Joy Formidable last night. They absolutely smashed it. Had a brilliant support act as well, called Kill It Kid. The Joy Formidable were asked about Leeds and spent 5 minutes talking about the festival, whilst saying "We'll definitely be in a field in the Summer". Take from that what you will.
